About private number plate 78 MA
78 MA is a short four-character dateless registration. Its format of two numbers followed by two letters offers a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. As a dateless plate, it does not show a year identifier, contributing to its timeless appeal.
The combination "MA" as initials holds potential for a wide audience, with research indicating personal connections are a leading driver for private registration purchases. Dateless registrations with two letters and a single number are noted for their finite supply and inherent rarity. The number 78, while not number 1, falls within the lower end of double-digit numbers, which are generally more sought after than higher number bands.
This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2007. It sold for £4,500 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £5,684.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
